Everyday I would wake up, another day off from classes and school and professors, yet … Continue reading Taking a Tech Break

Curation Culture

Our society is obsessed with our visual aesthetic. In my Media Studies class, we studied the eras of media and how that has shaped the society we’re in.

Lingering questions and David Levithan | quote series

In a matter of a day, you have so many questions. These questions can be simple. What will I have for breakfast? What time should I work out? When will the train arrive? Does my car have gas? And then there are questions that linger, that stay on our minds longer than we’d care to admit. Does he like me? Is this the right school for me? Should I buy a wedding ring? Is this true love? It’s an inescapable way of life - we have questions, and we long for answers.

Weeping, grief, and John Piper | quote series

I have a tendency to daydream, to lay back and have dream of a different life for myself. We all wish ourselves away, not in a dark way, only that we wish we looked better, or were better at school, or were the person that everyone desired to be like. I dream myself unlonely, surrounded by a close knit group of people, who know me deeply and still show me love. Maybe you dream yourself happy, a smile on your face at any hour of the day, able to laugh life’s troubles away.
